In a surprising turn of events, now a second accuser, Cecil Singleton (pictured below), has stepped forward, alleging that the voice of Sesame Street’s beloved Elmo, Kevin Clash (pictured above), also had sexual relations with him while he was a minor. This comes only just a day after first accuser Sheldon Stephenssaid that he was sticking to his original accusation that he did indeed have sex with Clash when he was 16 years old, according to TMZ.

While the alleged sexual abuse occurred 20 years ago, Singleton claims that he decided to sue now because he “did not become aware that he had suffered adverse psychological and emotional effects from Kevin Clash’s sexual acts and conduct until 2012.”

According to the NY Times, the second lawsuit seems to have prompted Clash to put resign from Sesame Street. On Tuesday, Sesame Workshop released the following statement:

Sesame Workshop’s mission is to harness the educational power of media to help all children the world over reach their highest potential. Kevin Clash has helped us achieve that mission for 28 years, and none of us, especially Kevin, want anything to divert our attention from our focus on serving as a leading educational organization. Unfortunately, the controversy surrounding Kevin’s personal life has become a distraction that none of us want, and he has concluded that he can no longer be effective in his job and has resigned from Sesame Street. This is a sad day for Sesame Street.
